When they heard this, they were flabbergasted and quickly looked at the other side of the door. But when they did, they saw the figure clad in red turn around and walk back after taking a look around. She went down the stairs in such an unusual manner.
“She, is she leaving? She’s already climbed the Immortal Ascension Ladder, so why hasn’t she come up?” An elderly man stuttered and opened his eyes wide.
“She has no idea where she is, does she? Why did she leave when all immortal cultivators should know that this is the only path? What exactly is going on?”
He’d been guarding this door for many years, and it was the first time he’d seen a cultivator who had stepped to the top of the Immortal Ascension Ladder simply stand there, looking around indifferently, before turning around and leaving.
Several old monsters were struck dumb and forgot to react for a moment, so they only watched helplessly as the figure disappear from the other side of the door.
“Just, she’s just left like this?”
They exchanged glances. They’d never seen anything like it before. Among them, the old monster with a childlike appearance immediately unleashed his divine consciousness, and a voice with a powerful pressure was heard.
“Little girl, aren’t you coming up?”
When Feng Jiu, who was heading down, heard the sound, she stopped for a moment, looked back, but saw nothing, and continued walking.
“I’m talking to you, little girl! Why don’t you come up?” The old monster yelled with exasperation in his voice.
Feng Jiu confirmed that the voice was talking to her this time, but she couldn’t see who was speaking, so she returned her gaze to the door and said, “I’m here to get a look around, but I don’t want to go inside.”
Hearing this, the eyes of the childlike old monster widened, and even the others stared with shock and bewilderment.
“What are you doing here then? Are you mocking us?” The old monster spoke indignantly.
Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed with surprise. Us? Clearly, more than one old monster immortal cultivators with formidable strength were behind that door! So she said, “As I just stated, I simply came up to have a look. I was unaware that you were hiding behind that door, so I’m not mocking you.”
Several old monsters were speechless for a moment, but they had no idea what the little girl’s mind was thinking.
Finally, one of them inquired, “What is your name?”
“Feng Jiu.” She responded without hiding anything.
“Feng Jiu? Hmm, We’ll certainly remember you.”
After hearing this reply, Feng Jiu said, “Farewell,” and continued down the stairs.
Several of them didn’t say anything as they watched her figure fade away as she left without stopping. Finally, one of them said, “We have rejoiced too soon.”
“This girl is not a person with no aspirations. She will return.” Someone else said, and added. “Don’t fight over her. I’ve booked this Feng Jiu.”
“What do you mean that you are booking her? I chose her first.”
“She is a woman disguised as a man, and I saw right through it, so she should belong to me.”
“What’s the point of arguing? You’re all getting on in years, but you’re not embarrassed. The little girl has already left. What is there to argue? If you want to argue, wouldn’t it be better to let her choose when she returns?” The childlike old monster said. He looked at the door and sighed. “This appears to be the case this year.”
What they were squabbling about was unknown to her. When she got down, she only saw the elderly man laying on the ground, dying.
